Hosting the OpenPages application server and IBM Business Process Manager on the same computer

If you host your IBM® OpenPages® with Watson™ application server and either IBM BPM Process Center or IBM BPM Process Server on the same host (as in a development or test environment), you need to perform some additional configuration.

About this task

To prevent conflicts, you need to alter the default LTPA Token name in the IBM WebSphere® administrative console for the OpenPages admin application server. You also need to enable cookies and set the default session cookie name.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the IBM WebSphere administrative console on the OpenPages admin application server as the administrator user.
    The URL for the WebSphere administrative console uses the following format: https://<OpenPages_server>:<port>/ibm/console.
  2. Go to Security > Global Security > Web and SIP Security > Single-sign on (SSO).
  3. Change the value of LTPA V2 cookie name from a blank to a distinct name.
  4. Click Apply and then click Save.
  5. Go to Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers and click the name of your server.
  6. Under Container Settings, expand Web Container Settings and click Web container.
  7. Under Additional Properties, click Session management.
  8. Click Enable cookies.
  9. Enter opsosa in the Cookie name field.
  10. Click Apply and then click Save.
  11. Stop the OpenPages services.

  12. Restart the OpenPages Deployment Manager (Dmgr) server.
    For example, on Windows operating systems, run the following command:
    C:\OpenPages\profiles\OpenPagesDmgr\bin\startManager.bat
    For example, on Linux® operating systems, run the following command:
    /home/opuser/OP/OpenPages/profiles/OpenPagesDmgr/bin/startManager.sh
  13. Synchronize the OpenPages nodes.
    • On Microsoft Windows operating systems, go to the <OP_Home>\profiles\<host_name>-OPNode1\bin directory. Run syncNode.bat.
    • On UNIX operating systems, go to the <OP_Home>/profiles/<host_name>-OPNode1/bin directory. Run syncNode.sh.
    Use the following syntax: 
    syncNode.bat|.sh <admin_host_name> <OP_SOAP_PORT>
   -username <OP_WAS_admin_user_name> -password <OP_WAS_admin_password>
    For example, on Linux operating systems, run the following command:
    /home/opuser/OP/OpenPages/profiles/opserver-OPNode1/bin/syncNode.sh 
   localhost 8879 -username admin -password openpages
  14. Start all OpenPages services.
